Chase you are a great kid! I really couldn't ask for better. You are kind and helpful. You are smart and funny. You are the best big brother to little Piper - always so watchful and careful to protect her, always seeing to her needs. If everyone else is still sleeping, you get her up in the morning and turn on Elmo. You are honest and obedient. (Now if we can just work on your room *wink wink )
You are a talented young man - you just pick a sport and learn to play it. You have learned piano and trombone this year and have succeeded at both - I can't even imagine what would happen if you practiced a little more *hint hint. You are a good friend - never excluding kids who want to come over to play.
You are a born leader. You always have been. Kids seek you out and want to follow you. I remember in Iowa when we'd go to playgroup at the rec center. You were 3. All the kids would stop what they were doing when we got there and whatever you decided to do - they were on board as well. All of a sudden everyone was on a firetruck as you called out - Fire Fire, Let's go!! They were all running single file behind YOU. All ages are attracted to you. You're smart and easy going - that's why I look out my kitchen window and see 10th graders, 9th graders, 7th and 8th graders, 5th graders, 3rd graders and kindergartners all playing capture the flag, football, baseball or just sitting together at the patio table talking about Runescape. You have a way of bringing people together and including everyone. That's why our doorbell rings incessantly. I hope you realize the power you have and always use it for good. You are a terrific example.
So many parents and school and church teachers have told me how polite you are and how you always know the answers. I am so proud of you for learning the gospel and having that thirst for education in all subjects. I am so proud that you use your knowledge for good and share it with others. I know you will make an incredible missionary someday.
Thank you Chase! Thank you for coming to my family and sharing your life with me. Thank you for being a good example and a great kid! I love you! Oh and one more thing - You just stop growing right now!!!! Just stay this big forever ok? You're big enough don't you think? Oh it's hard to watch your kids grow up!
HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY CHASE!!!

Happy Birthday Chase! I remember you when you were three - I always enjoyed your company at my house. You were such a chatterbox and just a fun little guy to be around. It sounds like you are still a fun guy to be around!
